I wrote at the end of the other thread that I have tons of powders that I need to use. I am home for the holidays and found some more in my old room. Still havent figured out how I am going to incorporate everything. I know I want to make a spritz out of the Fenugreek because of the raves it gets. I will probably use Kalpi Tone, Bhringraj, Brahmi etc to make paste

One question: Has anyone mixed powders with Rhassoul clay? I searched and didnt see that mix.

I plan to check in weekly to write what combos I come up with!

cutiebe2 I used to use Rhassoul for deep cleanse hair and remove every coat of products/stains, so I wouldn't have done a mix of a cleanser mixed with a coater. But at the end of the day there are plenty of mixes like Shikakai/henna(and other powders)sold on the market so why not try Rhassoul and other powders.
I'm taking Shikakai/henna as an exemple because Shikakai cleanse and is an astringent and henna coats hair.

Yeah I use Rhassoul clay as a shampoo at the moment. I never thought of Shikakai and henna. I am still trying to think of all the combinations I can do.

I plan on doing henna and indigo tomorrowsince I want my hair black again. But on a weekly basis I still dont know which combos ill do for a paste.
 
IDareT'sHair,

I definitely want to participate. I have lots of powders, and oils that I am trying in different combinations.

I also don't want you wagging your finger at me if I post and am not a challenger.:yep:

This should be fun. :yep:
 
Mud/clay washing now. Sitting on my head until it hardens. Ingredients: Indian Healing Clay, Amla powder, aloe vera gel, vinegar. Will follow up with light protein conditioner steam and rinse out conditioner.
 
Pre-pooing with Komaza's Pona to exfoliate scalp & keep shedding at a minimum. Pona doesn't really fit in the categories of this challenge but posted it here since it suppose to help shedding.

Another advantage is that Rhassoul is not mud clay, actually grainy from my experiences, so it will be easy to mix it with any other Indian powders.
If you don't know which combo/mix to do, have a look at everyone's weekly check up for some mistress inspiration.
My fav Ayurvedic DC mix is henna/maka(Bhringraj)/amla/brahmi with some drops of hydrolysed protein
Fenugreek can be added but be used as a rinse aswell.
U asked in another post about turmeric I only know skin properties for reduce hyperpigmentation (when used consistently as a mask)
Hope that helps xx cutiebe2
 
I'm in too :)

I'll be using:
APB Ayurvedic Oil & Ayurvedic Hair Mask
J. Monique Naturals Mud Wash & Bentonite and Rhaussoul Clay Mask
 
About to henna this weekend. Loved the results last week. Luscious and much needed volume. Also, cant wait to get to that store that carries indigo. Will do a lone indigo some time during the week. :lick:

I know Krystle~Hime but I wanted to list it here since I will be using it for this challenge and it helps shedding like coffee & tea but if that's not cool then please let me know.

Does anyone use Turmeric powder in any of their mixes? I have a jar and want to use it up

cutiebe2 I use it when I add it to my Yemen henna,it helps give a pretty glossy color,but it can be grainy, if you add it to hot water makes it like pancake batter,desolves.

That's good to know. I'm going to buy some to add to my face masks because it's supposed to even out skin tone. Since I'm going to be using the same mask on my hair, hopefully it'll help give some kind of gloss.
 
i'm on amazon doing my powder shopping (need new batches of marshmallow/burdock and bhringraj:drunk:)

Okay welp thought I had posted in here earlier lol guess not...

Okay soooo I don't know what I'm doing wrong but my grays never turn a brown they always turn golden copper. I've even used more indingo to henna ratio but it still isnt working. Ah well guess I jist have to deal with the color it gives me lol.

Anyway here's the pics of ny hendigo. No different than they way it usually looks. All the color is result from my hendigo of my grays. My hair is not dyed and that should give you an idea of how much gray I have lol. For some reason though I have more gray in the front and sides than the back....

Thanks for tagging me IDTH! I'm in the challenge.

I just started experimenting with teas and plan to incorporate them into my regimen in 2015.
I need to find a moisturizing tea spritz since my ST glycerin free kink drink is almost gone.

I use ACV rinses and will continue to do so in 2015. I recently tried the Claudie's normalizing rinse in a tea base, instead of water, and really liked how my hair felt. So I'll continue to do that.

I use henna sporadically and think that I will use henna glosses more than the henna paste in 2015. It takes forever for me to soften and moisturize my hair after a henna paste treatment.

I have a lot of Ayurvedic powders and need to figure out how to incorporate them into my regimen.
